A Millwall fan who directed racist abuse at a Leeds United striker has been banned from football matches for five years and ordered to pay more than £500.

Gerrard Scanlon, 53, was arrested after Sky Sports News broadcast footage that appeared to show some of the London club's supporters abusing El Hadji Diouf.

Scanlon, a delivery driver, admitted his foul-mouthed tirade when he was brought before magistrates on Wednesday and fined £425. He was told to pay further costs of £85 and a £15 victim surcharge, the Metropolitan police said.

Millwall said they were "appalled" by the clips while their captain, Danny Shittu, said he was "deeply saddened" by what he saw in the documentary. The club promised to ban any individuals for life if they were found guilty.

Scanlon, from Enfield, north London, was accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. He was sentenced at Bromley magistrates court.

Shittu said after the Sky documentary that the club were looking at how they could tackle racism. "As the Millwall captain, racism is something I do not stand for or condone," he said. "I am in talks with the club about any further measures we can take in dealing with and eradicating racism at matches. I do not want the events shown yesterday to tarnish the hard work done by the club thus far and their efforts in tackling this issue."
